§ 40. Mr. Teelingasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the fact that research recently carried out in Zurich University shows that Brazil nuts contain vitamins A and B in abundance, and are therefore particularly suitable for children and that a supply of 100 calories is contained in 14 grammes of Brazil nuts, as against 104 grammes of walnuts, he will take steps at an early date to meet the demands of British importers for increased facilities to import Brazil nuts into this country.

§ Mr. WebbThe quantity of Brazil nuts we shall be able to import this year depends on negotiations at present in progress with Brazil. However, I should be extremely interested to hear about the Zurich experiments, if the hon. Member will send me details.
